Never get your hopes up...

When you are dealing with Bone Marrow Transplants.

I really went into today thinking that we'd be all good and well on our way to every other week. Then her numbers came in and her ANC was down to 1700 and her liver numbers were up more. They were discussing options and rationale together before advising that next week we would test for a few different viruses that might be present.

I knew that runny nose was something to be feared! She is eating, sleeping, and playing fine so I'm hoping there is no virus. The other option is that the antibiotic that she's on can sometimes increase liver function. So we would simply change that, and thus we are avoiding it until we can test her next week.

Other than that she was a gem and had them seriously laughing with her charm and antics.  Apparently two of our Oncologists were doing clinic rounds today and were fighting over getting to see Selene.  She's the best!

So, while I was hoping for better news this week, and the idea of a break during what is sure to be a busy week or two, I'm glad that we will hopefully rule out some scarier possibilities next week.

Go away runny nose!
